NoGALEs, Ariz., July 13.-One OF
the most severe rain storms ever seen
here came up this afternoon about 9
o'clock. 1t appears that there was a
cloud-burst on the mountains south
west of the town in Sonora and within
the space of half an hour the town was
almost flooded. On the west side OF
the town is large arroyo and in a
few moments that swelled to a width
of more than 200 feet. The most
damage was done in Nogales, Sonora,
where there were five houses washed
away and one child drowned. One
woman and two childrens who were
swept into the current, were fortu-
nately saved.
One peculiar feature of the food
was the action of little Mexican boy,
aged about II years. When his moth
er's house was swept away he at
tempted to hold to the trunk and was
taken down with the current, and
although the current was swift and
appalling he held ON, and when last
seen floundering no one supposed that
he would ever be rescued. After the
storm had subsidized large party went
out and found him five miles from
town. He was busy picking up pieces
of property, but was badly bruised up.
7. III. Healy, station agent, who
happened to see woman and two
children being carried away by the
flood, bravely plunged into the water
and succeeded in rescuing them.

UNNATURAL PARENTS.
A Baby Neglected While II
Mother Drinks LIQUOR.

Officer Wright, of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children,
stated yesterday that Mrs. Clarke, of
No. 34 Alameda street, complained to
him of the treatment of couple
named Cappel to their baby. Mrs.
Clarke states that the baby is left in a
neglected condition while the mother
is away drinking. On Tuesday Mrs.
Cappel borrowed 81 from Mrs. Clarke,
saying that the baby was sick and
that she wanted to purchase medicine
for it. Instead OF purchasing medicine
Mrs. Cappel went to the corner and
spent the money for liquor. 1t is said
that the parents have been feeding
the baby on condensed milk and wa
ter and that the rubber mouthpiece
has not even been cleaned, in conse-
quence of which it emits a very Of
fensive odor and cannot be healthy
for a six months old baby. Officer
Wright states that he intends to arrest
the parents to-day and turn the baby
over to the Orphans Home.

Yesterdays Fire.

The alarm from box ga yesterday
afternoon was for fire in the rear OF
No. 129 Also street. 1t appears that
Mrs. Praugh, who rents the house
from Mr.. Peske, left fire in the
kitchen stove and returned to the
house. The kitchen was in a small
detached building and one of the
neighbors was the .first to notice the
fire. AT that time the entire building
was on fire, but the alarm brought out
the fire department, which soon had
the flames extinguished. Mrs. Praugh
created quite an excitement just as
the fire was out by dashing into the
demolished kitchen in search of her
baby, which she thought might have
gone to sleep on the floor. 1t trans
pired, however, that the baby was on
the street and the mother felt consid-
erably relieved of hearing of its safety.

THE UNION PACIFIC.
ntinuatiOn of Senator Tefler's
Testimony.


DENVER, Col, July 13.-In the
Pacific Railroad investigation to-day
United States Senator Henry M.
Teller addressed the Commission. He
said he did not desire to appear to be
a man with a grievance, but Mr.. N.
P. Hill had openly stated that the
railroad companies had put up money
to secure his (Teller's) election; that
the charge included the Union Pacific
Railroad Company, and was serious
charge, but was such charge as he
(Mr. Teller) could not present to the
United States Senate as that body had
decided in the case of Senator Payne,
of Ohio, that in order that such a
question might be within the line Of in
vestigation by the Senate, the Senator
elect must be charged with having
knowledge of such corrupt use Of
money. He thought Mr.. Hill should
be required to give this commission
the names of the witnesses upon whom
he relied to prove the charges, or else
be compelled to admit that the charges
were without foundation.
F.. Gov. Pattison stated that Mr.. Hill
had furnished the names OF five per-
sons of whom the commission had ex-
amined three. There were two whom
the commission had tried to reach by
subpoena, but could not. Those two
were +. 0. Wolcott and W. H. Price.
Mr.. Teller said these gentlemen
we're not friends of his.
The commission will hear further
testimony tonight and will go to Lead
Vile tomorrow.

A DANGEROUS MANIAC.
A Desperate struggle to Disarm
him i'm a Cell.

John Halloran was found wander
ing around town yesterday by Officers
Little and Reed, dangerously insane.
After a severe tussle they managed to
handcuff him and lock him up in the
city prison. He imagines that he has
committed some crime and that a
large reward is offered for his scalp.
The minute he was placed in a cell he
tore a board off of bench, and stood
guard over the door, welding the
plank with movement that would
be envied by professional base ball
batter.
In the afternoon, delegation from
the Sheriff IS office arrived to escort
him to the county jail. A council of
war was held and finally Deputy
Sheriff COoney sprang into the dark
cell and disarmed the enraged maniac.
Cooney received scratch in the face
from which the blood flowed slightly.
During the struggle large force of
police officers stood by casting envious
glances and apparently wandering
chow such things could be done"
Cooney says it is the funniest struggle
he ever had, as it was impossible for
him to see Halloran in the darkness
of the cell and he had to feel for him.
The maniac was taken to the county
Jail and will be examined this
morning.

ssshe stoops to Conquer,

Mrs. Langtry, in Oliver Goldsmith's s
celebrated and charming comedy She
'Stoops to Conquer, drew out very full
house of the most fashionable play
goers of the city at the Grand last
night. 1t is needless to speak of
"Goldy's" matchless production. 1t
is always a strong card, as it is full of
sparkling wit, droll situations and ef-
fervescent fun. 1t is one of the few
plays in the modern drama which is
delightful on the boards, and at the
same time will charm away quiet
hour as read from the book by a re-
cluse student.
That Mrs. Langtry cannot play the
role of "Miss Hardcastle" is one of
the things which goes without saying.
She fails in almost each and every
requirement of the character. As the
lady her appearance is disappointing ;
as the suppositious barmaid she
is rather pretty. There is a
certain vein of the chic quail
ity in her looks and acts that
go far towards pleasing, but one can
not help feeling that even here there
is great drawback something
lacking to make the pleasure unal-
loyed. Her elocution is an utter fail
ure in this as it was in the Lady of
Lyons. The cast generally was medi-
ocre to such degree that notable
exception to this statement is not dis
cernable in the entire list.
For tonight the WJe's Peril is un-
derlined, a repeat from the opening
night. 1t is an assured fact that the
engagement will prove to be notable
success in the history Of the Grand, as
all persons wish to see a celebritykso
widely known as the "Jersey Lily"

Kennedy, Of Washington,
FOully Assassinated
BY A LABORER NAMED DAILY,
Who Tells a Rambling and IncO.
herent Story as an Excuse
for His Crime.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERAD,
WASHINGTON, July 13.-The most
sensational murder in Washington
since the assassination of President
Garfield was committed this evening
near the Treasury Department build
ing, Joseph G. Kennedy, attorney and
real estate agent and one of the oldest
residents in Washington, with u per-
sonal acquaintance of many of the
most prominent people of the National
Capital, being murdered in cold blood
by John Daily, white laborer. Ken
nedy left his office and crossed the
street where he mailed several letters,
and started to take car home. When
within a few feet of the car, Daily,
who had been lettering around the
corner for several hours, walked up
behind him and, drawing large
keen-bladed knife, similar to those
used by butchers when killing hogs,
ran it into Kennedy's right side, near
the abdomen, with vicious lunge.
He then gave it jerk sidewise.. A
large crowd was on the corner at the
time, but all were SO horror stricken
that nobody moved.
KENNEDY FELL
To the ground after giving cry of
murder" and then groaned deeply
and pointed to the murderer, who
made no attempt to escape. The
knife dropped out of Kennedy's side
as the doctor came up. Mason, a col
ored watchman, seized Daily, who
stood looking on apparently the most
unconcerned and self-possessed man
in the crowd. Kennedy died in five
minutes, and as the body was moved
to the police station, excitement rose
rapidly and the crowd, growing.bois-
ferrous, threatened to hang the muir
derer. Daily, however, paid little at
tention and refused to say why he
committed the crime. Once, when
provoked by the crowd, he turned
squarely round and said: eyes, l
killed him, damn him. Daily is a
man of so years Of age and apparently
a working-man.
DAILY's STORY.
At the station house he told ramb-
ling, incoherent story about an affair
OF which the general purport was that
Kennedy had wronged his father years
ago, had secured property worth $4,000
for 5000, and then refused to make
restitution.
THE MURDERED MAN
Is about IS years of age, of an old
Maryland family and one of the most
respected citizens of Washington. He
is the grandson of Elliott who at the re-
quest of PresidentW Washington surveyed
the ten miles square which was incorpo-
rated as the District of Columbia. In
1850 and 1860 Kennedy was Commits
sioner of Census and was prominent
politician in the earlier days and an
ardent adherent of the old Whig
party. Along about that time he
edited the Franklin, Penn, InteH-
gencer. He was an intimate friend OF
ex-senator Conkling, Attorney-Gen-
eral Garland, w. w. Corcoran, and
large number of other people. He
leaves an unmarried daughter, Sallie
Kennedy, a son, Joseph Kennedy,
and one married daughter, the wife
of General Biddle.
